^' The erroneous belief obtains with many that the 
mind only need be cultivated and all other culture will 
follow ; but the thought originates in the brain, the 
brain acts upon the nerves, the nerves upon the muscles, 
the muscles upon the bones, and only after all these 
processes is physical action possible. What avails the 
most intellectual letter if there is no messenger to con- 
vey it to the desired place ? This is the office of 
physical gymnastics/' 

(^^ Above all guard against entire fatigue of the 
muscles. As soon as an undue sense of weariness comes 
on, the exercise must be stopped or deferred until it is 
over. Be content with small results at first. Strength 
and ease will come with practice."')

Montaigne, the French essayist (born 1533), says : 
'^1 would have an outward decorum and pleasing man- 
ner cultivated at the same time with the mind. It is 
not a soul, not a body, we educate ; it is a man. Out 
of this one we must not make two." 

And Plato says : "We must not break in one with- 
out the other, but must urge and guide both alike, like 
a span of horses harnessed to a shaft."

a shapely person.")

Among the faults to be avoided in walking, Oscar 
Guttman gives these : 

Walking with stiff legs. 

Walking with a too rapid uplifting of the toes or 
heels. 

Walking with a decidedly forward inclination of the 
upper part of the body.

Hegel says: ''^My body is the medium through 
which I communicate with the outward world. If I 
would realize my intention, I must make myself cap- 
able of rendering this subjectivity into outward objec- 
tivity. My body is not naturally fitting for this ; it 
conforms only to the physical life : the organic and 
physical impulses are not yet the results of the prompt- 
ings of my spirit. My body must first be trained for 
such service.''^ 

" Everyone, who, without gymnastic training, ap- 
pears in public and feels as if his feet were filled with 
lead and his legs were iron bars, recognizes how impor- 
tant it is to give strength and elasticity to these 
muscles. ^^

'^^ Strength at the centre, freedom at the surface^, is

'' The body is trained that it may be abetter medium 
for the soul. All expression of the being is through the 
body, and any obstructions, whether they arise from 
unused muscles, consciousness of defects, or lack of 
control, are so many barriers to the full and free expres- 
sion of that for which alone the body exists. Body and 
soul are a unit and they must be developed harmoni- 
ously. ' Nor soul helps body more than body soul,^ 
must be the belief of the teacher who would secure all-

^^ Elocution touches all sides of the being ; it is an im- 
portant educational factor — one that the schools cannot 
afford to do without. The teachers should have it, be- 
cause they are models for the children — teachers of ex- 
pression — whether they will or no. Both teacher and 
child should be trained in elocution, because it teaches 
English speech ; because it teaches how to get and give 
thought from the printed page ; because it frees the 
voice and lets out the living tone that speaks from heart 
to heart — the tones of sympathy, dignity and eloquence, 
that attract toward purity, truth, virtue and love. It 
•cultivates the aesthetic taste, the love for the beautiful 
and true in nature and art; and beauty is one of the 
best things in life. It insists upon a physical training 
that not only makes for health and strength, but makes 
automatic all movements of body that save force and 
produce right thinking. 

*' The public schools should teach elocution, because 
it will help to accomplish these objects for the masses 
for whom these schools exist, and at very little expense. 
Oenius will take care of itself, but through this train- 
ing many a poor, cramped, expressionless boy and girl 
(there are plenty such in the schools, and they are not 
going to be sent to special schools or imbecile asylums) 
can be straightened up physically and mentally, taught 
self-respect, helped into some definiteness of thought 
and purpose, and into a self -helpful and helping man- 
hood and womanhood/' Maetii^ Fleming.

"Good health is the basis of all physical, intellectual 
moral and spiritual development. A certain amount of 
vital energy is needed to give weight to the best argu-

to have inspiration and conviction, but also to possess 
a body able to endure fatigue, instinct with magnetic

''A physical culture that limbers up every muscle in 
the body and keeps it full of electric life will go far 
towards making an old woman over new. And a 
woman is never too old to begin such training. 

'^^ A favorite posture with some is to place one arm 
akimbo, with hand behind the back. A more ungrace- 
ful attitude it would be difficult to assume. It denotes 
self-consciousness — a knowledge that one has an arm 
that is superfluous, an arm that he does not know what 
to do with. One of the first things for a speaker, actor 
or singer to learn is to let the arms alone — to use them 
only when they have something to do.^^

"As remarks a suggestive writer, the first requisite 
to success in life is to be 'a good animal ' ; and to be a 
nation of good animals is the first condition to national 
prosperity. Already under the keen competition of 
modern life, the application required of almost every- 
one is such as few can bear without more or less injury. 
Already thousands break down under the high pres- 
sure they are subject to. If this pressure continues to 
increase, as it seems likely to do, it will try severely all 
but the soundest constitutions. Hence, it is becoming 
of especial importance that the training of children 
should be so carried on as not only to fit them mentally 
for the struggle before them, but also to make them 
physically fit to bear its excessive wear and tear."

'^Ohest expansion is the result of increased size of 
lungs. This increased size is attained by repeatedly 
filling out ordinarily inactive air cells by forced respir- 
ation, thus working upon the chest from within out- 
ward. This respiration may be induced by muscular 
exercise — by creating a need for the fuel which breath 
supplies. The larger the mass of muscles exercised in 
each movement, the more quickly will increased respir- 
ation be caused and with the least expenditure of force. 
The large compact muscular groups of the legs are best 
adapted to this end. Arm work induces this internal 
need for increased respiration only after comparatively 
long exercise. It is leg work that does this with the 
least expenditure of force. Walking is especially 
recommended. ^-

^^G-race should not be sacrificed to strength, and all 
systems of physical development are defective which do 
not recognize this truth. It is possible for the body to 
be as beautiful in grace as it is redundant in force. 
Unity in poise, harmony in movement should enter 
into all gymnastic work, and concentration of mental 
energies make the hour of physical exercise one to 
stimulate all selfhood. Subtlety will thus be added to 
strength, and the psychic radiate and refine the phys- 
ical. ^^ 

'' Relieve the ordinary school-room work by occasional 
exercise, varied to prevent monotony, and the added 
power of attention which the children bring to their 
work will more than make up for the time taken by the 
exercise.-'^ 

The office of aesthetic gymnastics is to unite in a har- 
monious whole the limbs of the human body, which 
have been strengthened and rendered elastic by physi-

Another thing to avoid is the bad habit of going up 
stairs, which most women do bent forward with the 
chest contracted, which, as well as an indolent, slouchy

I measured myself by the wall in the garden. 
The hollyhocks blossomed far over my head ; 

Oh, when can I touch with the tips of my fingers 
Each tiny green bud with its blossom so red ? 

I shall not be a child any more, but a woman; 

Dear hollyhock blossoms, oh when will it be ? 
I wish they would hurry, the years that are coming, 

And bring all the things that I dream of to me. 

Oh when I am grown I shall know all my lessons — 
There's so much to learn when one's only just ten — 

I shall be very rich, very handsome and stately. 
And good, too of course, — 'twill be easier then. 

'There'll be nothing to vex me, and nothing to hurt me, 
No knots in my sewing, no crust on my bread ;

For this little corner will always be mine ; 

I shall wear a white gown all embroidered with silver. 
That trails in the grass with a rustle and shine. 

And meeting some child here at play in the garden, 
With gracious hands laid on her head I will say: 

I measured myself by the hollyhock blossoms 
When I was no larger than you, dear, one day. 

She will smile in my face as I stoop low to kiss her. 
And hark I they are calling me in to my tea ; 

Oh blossom! I wish that the slow years would hurry ; 
When, when will you bring all I dream of to me ?

Seated one day at the organ, 
I was weary and ill at ease. 

And my fingers wandered idly 
Over the noisy keys ; 

I knew not what I was playing. 
Or what I was dreaming then. 

But I struck one chord of music. 
Like the sound of a grand amen. 
Like the sound of a grand amen! 

It flooded the crimson twilight. 

Like the close of an angel's psalm. 
And it lay on my fevered spirit 

With a touch of infinite calm ; 
It quieted pain and sorrow 

Like love overcoming strife. 
It seemed the harmonious echo 

From our discordant life.

It linked all perplexed meanings 

Into one perfect peace^, 
And trembled away into silence 

As if it were loath to cease ; 
I have sought, but I seek it vainly^, 

That one lost chord divine, 
Which came from the soul of the organ. 

And entered into mine. 

It may be that death^s bright angel 
Will speak in that chord again ; 

It may be that only in heaven 
I shall hear that grand amen!

A CATASTROPHE 



No human being 
Who saw that sight 
But felt a shudder 
Of pale affright. 
He sat in a window 
Three stories high, 
A little baby 
With no one nigh; 
A stranger saw him 
And stopped to stare ; 
A crowd soon gathered 
To watch him there. 

With fat pink fingers 
Reached out — and fell ! 
The awful horror 
No tongue can tell. 
Poor little baby - 
So sweet and bright ! 
Pale faces quivered 
And lips grew white ; 
Weak women fainted. 
Strong men grew weak; 
Up rose one woman^s 
Heart-piercing shriek. 



A gleam, a flutter. 

In airy flight 

There passed the window 

A butterfly bright. 

From fields of clover 

And perfumed air. 

Wayfaring insect 

What brought you there ? 

The baby saw it 

And eagerly 

Reached out to catch it. 

Crowing with glee. 

Hurrah for the awning ! 

Upon the fly 

It caught the youngster 

And tossed him high. 

The bounce prodigious 

Made baby scowl ; 

He caught hia breath, sir. 

And set up a howl ! 

All blessed the awning 

Without a flaw ; 

But a madder baby 

You never saw. 



AN OBDEB FOR A PICTURE 



Alice Gary 
0! good painter, tell me true. 
Has your hand the cunning to draw 



SELECTIOl^TS , 71 

Shapes of things you never saw? 
Ay? Well, here is an order for you. 

Woods and corn-fields, a little brown — 

The picture must not be over-bright. 

Yet all in the golden and precious light 

Of a cloud, when the sun is down, 

Alway and alway, night and morn. 

Woods upon woods, with fields of corn 

Lying between them, not quite sere. 

And not in the full thick leafy bloom. 

Where the wind can hardly find breathing room 

Under their tassels — cattle near. 

Biting shorter the short green grass. 

And a hedge of sumach and sassafras. 

With bluebirds twittering all around, 

(Ah! good painter, you can^t paint sound!) 

These and the house where I was born. 
Low and little and black and old. 
With children as many as it can hold. 
All at the windows, open wide. 
Heads and shoulders clear outside. 
And fair young faces all ablush ; 
Perhaps you may have seen, some day, 
Eoses crowding the self-same way. 
Out of a wild, way-side bush. 

Listen closer, when you have done 

With woods and corn-fields and grazing herds, 

A lady, the loveliest ever sun 

Looked down upon, you must paint for me ; 

Oh, if I could only make you see 



72 VOICE WORK 

The clear blue eyes, the tender smile, 
The sovereign sweetness, the gentle grace. 
The woman^'s soul, and the angel^s face 
That are beaming on me all the while, 
I need not speak these foolish words : 
Yet one word tells you all I would say. 
She is my mother ; you will agree 
That all the rest may be thrown away. 

Two little urchins at her knee 
You must paint, sir ; one like me. 
The other with a clearer brow 
And the light of his adventurous eyes 
Flashing with boldest enterprise. 

At ten years old he went to sea — 

Grod knoweth if he be living now ; 

He sailed in the good ship '^ Commodore " — 

Nobody ever crossed her track 

To bring us news, and she never came back. 

Oh, ^tis twenty long years and more 

Since that old ship went out of the bay 

With my great-hearted brother on her deck ; 

I watched him till he shrank to a speck, 

And his face was toward me all the way. 

Bright his hair was, a golden brown. 

The time we stood at our mother^s knee ; 

That beauteous head, if it did go down. 

Carried sunshine into the sea! 

Out in the fields one summer night 

We were together, half afraid 

Of the corn leaves rustling, and of the shade 



SELECTIOKS 73 

Of the high hills, stretching so still and far — 

Loitering till after the low little light 

Of the candle shown through the open door. 

And over the haystack^s pointed top, 

All of a tremble and ready to drop, 

The first half hour, the great yellow star, 

That we, with staring, ignorant eyes. 

Had often and often watched to see. 

Propped and held in its place in the skies 

By the fork of a tall red mulberry tree. 

Which close in the edge of our flax-field grew. 

Dead at the top — Just one branch full 

Of leaves notched ^round and lined with wool. 

From which it tenderly shook the dew 

Over our heads, when we came to play 

In its handbreadth of shadow, day .after day, — 

Afraid to go home, sir, for one of us bore 

A nest full of tiny and thin-shelled eggs. 

The other a bird, held fast by the legs, 

'Not so big as a straw of wheat ; 

The berries we gave her she wouldn't eat. 

But cried and cried, till we held her bill — 

So slim and shining — to keep her still. 

At last we stood at our mother's knee. 

Do you think, sir, if you would try. 

You can paint the look of a lie ? 

If you can, pray have the grace 

To put it solely in the face 

Of the urchin that is likest me ; 

I think 'twas solely mine, indeed. 

But that's no matter, paint it so ; 

The eyes of our mother (take good heed) 



74 YOICE WORK 

Looking not on the nest full of eggs 

Nor the fluttering bird held so fast by the legs. 

But straight through our faces down to our lies. 

And oh, with such injured, reproachful surprise ! 

I felt my heart bleed where that glance went, as though 

A sharp blade struck through it. 

You sir, know 
That you on the canvass are to repeat 
Things that are fairest, things most sweet — 
Woods and corn-fields and, mulberry tree. 
The mother, the lads with the bird, at her knee ; 
But, oh, that look of reproachful woe ! 
High as the heavens your name Fll shout. 
If you paint me the picture and leave that out.

LETTING THE OLD GAT DTE 



I. 

Not long ago I wandered near 

A play-ground in the wood ; 

And there heard words from a youngster's lips. 

That I never quite understood. 

II. 

Now let the old cat die ! " he laughed ; 
I saw him give a push. 
Then gaily scamper away as he spied 
My face peep over the bush.

But what he pushed or where he went, 
I could not well make out, 
On account of the thicket of hending boughs 
That bordered the place about.

'^ The little villain has stoned a cat, 
Or hung it upon a limb. 
And left it to die all alone/^ I said, 

^^But I'll play the mischief with him."

I forced my way through the bending boughs, 
The poor old cat to seek. 
And what did I find but a swinging child. 
With her bright hair brushing her cheek ! 

VI. 

Her bright hair floated to and fro. 
Her little red dress flashed by ; 
But the loveliest thing of all, I thought. 
Was the gleam of her laughing eye. 

VII. 

Swinging and swinging, back and forth. 
With the rose light in her face. 
She seemed like a bird and a flower in one. 
And the forest her native place. 

VIII. 

'^ Steady ! I'll send you up, my child," 

But she stopped me with a cry, 
^^ Go Vay, go Vay ! don't touch me, please ;

'^ You^re letting him die !" I cried, aghast, 
" Why, whereas the cat, my dear ? " 

And lo, the laugh that filled the wood 

Was a thing for the birds to hear. 

X. 

'' Why ! don't you know,'*' said the little maid. 

The sparkling, beautiful elf, 
'^ That we call it ' letting the old cat die,' 

When the swing stops all of itself ? "

Then swinging and swinging and looking back. 
With the merriest look in her eye. 
She bade me '' Good-bye," and I left her alone, 
^'Letting the old cat die."

Grandma told me all about it. 

Told me so I couldn't doubt it.

Bending to her partner's bow —

Hopping, rushing, whirling, bumping 
Would have shocked the gentlefolks 

Long ago. 
No — they moved in stately grace.

Gliding slowly forward, then 
Slowly courtesying back again —

His shadow lengthens along the land,

A giant staff in a giant hand ; 

In the poplar tree above the spring 

The Katydid begins to sing ; 

The early dews are falling ; 
Into the stone-heap darts the mink. 
The swallows skim the river^'s brink. 
And home to the woodland fly the crows. 
When over the hill the farm-boy goes. 

Cheerily calling — 
'' Co', boss ! co^ boss ! coM coM '' 
Farther, farther over the hill. 
Faintly calling, calling still — 

^'Co', boss ! co', boss ! co', co'!'' 

Into the yard the farmer goes. 

With grateful heart, at the close of day ; 

Harness and chain are hung away ; 

In the wagon shed stand yoke and plow ; 

The straw^s in the stack, the hay in the mow ; 

The cooling dews are falling ; 
The friendly sheep his welcome bleat ; 
The pigs come grunting to his feet ; 
The whinnying mare her master knows.

The cheerful milkmaid takes her stool. 
And sits and milks in the twilight cool. 

Saying, '' So, so, boss ! so ! so I "

A poor little robin stood silently bobbin' 
His wee little head in a pitiful way ; 
The chickens with wonder stood solemnly under

A foolish little maiden had a foolish little bonnet. 
With a ribbon and a feather and a bit of lace upon it. 
And in order that the maidens of the little town might

And when she got to meeting sure enough the folks

She smoothed her ruffles out behind and smoothed them 

down before. 
"Hallelujah ! Hallelujah V sang the choir above her 

head, 
" Hardly knew you ! Hardly knew you l^' were the words 

she thought they said.

This made the little maiden feel so very, very cross, 
That she gave her mouth a little twist and her little 

head a toss. 
For she thought the very words they sang were all about 

her bonnet 
With a ribbon and a feather and a bit of lace upon it.

So she did not stop to listen to the sermon or the 

prayers, 
But pattered down the silent street and hurried up the 

stairs. 
Till she reached her little bureau, and in a bandbox

Had hidden safe from critic^s eye, her foolish little 

bonnet.

FLEXIBILITY OF THE VOICE 



CAPABILITY OF BEIIS^G ADAPTED OR ACCOMMODATED. 

" Extreme rapidity of speech may be employed for 
attaining command over the voice. The difficulty of 
making transitions from one position of the organs of 
articulation to another requires an exertion which tends 
to increase their strength and activity, and this enables 
them to execute the usual time of speech without hesi- 
tation. I would recommend the utmost possible pre- 
cipitancy of utterance, taking care not to outrun the 
complete articulation of every element ; and this makes 
it advisable to set the lesson on some discourse long 
fixed in the memory, that embarrassment may not arise 
from the distracting effort of recollection." 

De. Eush. 



There was a sound of revelry by night, 
And Belgium's capital had gathered there

Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright 

The lamps shone o^er fair women and brave men ; 

A thousand hearts beat happily ; and when 

Music arose with its voluptuous swell. 

Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again, 

And all went merry as a marriage bell ; 

But hush ! hark ! a deep sound strikes like a rising 

knell ! 
Did ye not hear it ? — No ; ^twas but the wind, 
Or the car rattling o^er the stony street ; 
On with the dance ! let joy be unconfined ! 
No sleep till morn when Youth and Pleasure meet 
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet, — 
But hark ! — that heavy sound breaks in once more. 
As if the clouds its echo would repeat ; 
And nearer, clearer, deadlier than before ! 
Arm ! arm ! it is — it is — the cannon^s opening roar ! 

Bykok. 



'^ The chest voice should be little used, as it is a very 
fatiguing voice. The head voice or the medium voice 
is preferable, it being more noble and more ample, and 
not fatiguing. In these voices there is far less danger 
of hoarseness. The head and medium voices proceed 
from the mouth, while the chest voice has its vibrating 
point in the larynx. '^

THE VOICE 



'* There are two kinds of loud voices — the vocally 
loud, which is the vulgar voice; and the dynamically 
loud, which is the powerful voice. A voice, however 
powerful it may be, should be inferior to the power 
which animates it." 

1. 
[Feom Fobes's Elocution.] 
^' Multitudes of young men are poured out upon the 
country, year after year to get their living by public 
speech, who can not even read well. The art of public 
speech, has been shamefully neglected in all our higher 
training-schools. It has been held subordinate to 
everything else, when it is of prime importance. I be- 
lieve more attention is now paid to the matter than 
formerly. The colleges are training their students 
better, and there' is no danger that too much attention 
will be devoted to it. The only danger is, that the 
great majority will learn too late that the art of oratory 
demands as much study as any other of the higher arts ; 
and that, without it, they must flounder along through 
life practically shorn of half the power that is in them, 
and shut out from a large success.^' 

2. 
The Switzer gazed — the arrow hung, 
^' My only boy ! '^ sobbed on his tongue ; 

He could not shoot. 
^'Ha \" cried the tyrant, '^ doth he quail ? 
Mark, how his haughty brow grows pale ! " 



SELECTIONS 95 

But a deep voice rung on the gale — 

'' Shoot, in God's name ! '' 
Again the drooping shaft he took. 
And turned to heaven one burning look. 

Of all doubts reft. 
'^ Be firm, my boy ! " was all he said. 
The apple's left the strippling's head. 

Ha ! ha ! 'tis cleft ! 
And so it was, and Tell was free. 



^'And, finally, when a look, a slight movement of 
head or hand, mean so much, what a language the per- 
fected whole must speak. As I have hinted before, 
our work will always have the stamp of our own indi- 
viduality. Just so much of thought, heart, sou], as we 
put into this work, just so much will shine through and 
color our efforts. The creation can never be above the 
creator."

THE 8TAR-8PAN0LBD BANNER 



Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light. 

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last 
gleaming ? 

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the peril- 
ous fight. 

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly stream- 
ing ? 

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air. 



96 YOICE WORK 

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still 

there : 
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banker yet wave 
O^er the land of the free and the home of the brave ? 

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, 
Where the f oe^s haughty host in dread silence reposes. 
What is that which the breeze, o^er the towering steep. 
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses ? 
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam ; 
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream : 
'Tis the star-spangled banner ; oh, long may it wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ! 

And where is the band who so vauntingly swore, 
'Mid the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, 
A home and a country they'd leave us no more ? 
Their blood hath washed out their foul footsteps' pol- 
lution : 
No refuge could save the hireling and slave 
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave ; 
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 

Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand 
Between their loved home and the war's desolation ! 
Blest with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued 

land 
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a 

nation ! 
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just; 
And this be our motto, " In God is our trust" ; 
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 

Frakcis Scott Key.

THE OLD FOLKS AT HOME 



Way down upon the Swanee ribber. 

Far, far away, 
Dere's where my heart is turning ebber, 

Dere's where de old folks stay. 
All up and down the whole creation. 

Sadly I roam. 
Still longing for de old plantation, 

And for de old folks at home. 

One little hut among de bushes, 

One dat I love. 
Still sadly to my memory rushes, 

No matter where I rove. 
When will I see de bees a humming. 

All round de comb ? 
When will I hear de banjo tumming 

Down in my good old home ? 



Pantomime No. 3. 

Believe me if all these endearing young charms, 

Which I gaze on so fondly to-day 
Were to fade by to-morrow and fleet in my arms, 

Like fairy gifts fading away. 
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art, 

Let thy loveliness fade as it will. 
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart 

Shall entwine itself verdantly still. 



98 VOICE WORK 

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own. 

And thy cheek unprofaned by a tear, 
Tliat the fervor and love of a soul can be known 

To which time will but make thee more dear ; 
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets, 

But as truly loves on to the close, 
As the sun-flower turns to her God when he sets 

The same look which she turned when he rose. 



THE SCHOOL BULLETIN PUBLICATIONS. 

Helps toward Correct Speech. 

1. Verbal Pitfalls : a manual of 1500 words commonly misused, includ- 
ing all those the use of which in any sense has been questioned by Dean 
Alvord, G. W. Moon, Fitzedward Hall, Archbishop Trench, Wm C. Hodgson, 
W. L. Blackley, G. F. Graham, Richard Grant White, M. Scheie de Vere, Wm. 
Mathews, " Alfred Ayres," and many others. Arranged alphabetically, with 
3000 references and quotations, and the ruling of the dictionai'ies. By C. W. 
Babdeen. Cloth, 16mo, pp. 223. 75 cts. 

Perhaps the happiest feature of the book is its interesting form. Some 
hundreds of anecdotes have been gathered to illustrate the various points 
made. These have the advantage not only of making the work entertain- 
ing, but of fixing the point in the mind as a mere precept could not do. The 
type indicates at a glance whether the use of a word is (1) indefensible, (2) 
defensible but objectionable, or (3) thoroughly authorized. 

S. Orthoepy Made Easy. A Royal Road to Correct Pronunciation. By 
M. W. Hall. Cloth, 16mo, pp. 103. 75 cts. 

Everyone remembers the queer shibboleths of culture in the paragraph 
beginning " A sacrilegious son of Belial," that has been the rounds of the 
newspapers. This book is made up of 38 such exercises, all of them ingen- 
ious and many of them amusing, each followed by a key to the difficult 
words. Bishop Yincent says : " I take great pleasure in testifying to the ex- 
ceeding value of the little volume ; ' Orthoepy Made Easy.' The book is a 
sensible, practical text-book for the purpose intended. I congratulate you 
on having produced it, and I wish you success in its wide circulation." 

S. Practical Phonics. A comprehensive study of Pronunciation, form- 
ing a complete guide in the study of elementary sounds of the English Lan- 
guage, and containing 3000 words of difficult pronunciation, with diacritical 
marks according to Webster's Dictionary. By E. V. DeGraff. Cloth, 16mo, 
pp.108. 75 cts. 

"The book before us is the latest, and in many respects the best, of the 
manuals prepared for this purpose. The directions for teaching elementary 
sounds are remarkably explicit and simple, and the diacritical marks are 
fuller than in any other book we know of, the obscure vowels being marked, 
as well as the accented ones. This manual is not like others of the kind, a 
simple reference book. It is meant for careful study and drill, and is es- 
pecially adapted to class use."— iVeio England Journal of Education. 

h. Pocket Pronunciation Book, containing the 3,000 words of difficult 
pronunciation, with diacritical marks according to Webster's Dictionary. 
By E. V. DeGrafp, Manilla, 16mo, pp. 47. 15 cts. 

5. Studies in Articulation : a study and drill-book in the Alphabetic Ele- 
ments of the English language. Fifth thousand. By J. H. Hoose. Cloth, 
16mo, pp. 70. 50 cts. 

"Dr. Hoose's * Studies in Articulation ' is the most useful manual of the 
kind that I know of . It should be a text-book in every Teacher's Institute. " 
—.4. J. Pickoff, formerly Sup' t of Schools at Cleveland and at TonJcers.

Helps in Eeading and Speaking. 

1. Tfie Sentence Method of Teaching Beading. By Geo. L. Farnham. 
Cloth, 16mo, pp. 50. Price 50 cts. 

As the word method was a step above the alphabet method, so the sen- 
tence method is a step beyend the word method. " The unit of thought is 
the aentence," and if the child considers the words as units in learning to 
read, he must unlearn his habits of reading in order to read naturaUy. Mr. 
Farnham shows how much more easily children will learn to read, and how 
much better they will read, where this method is employed. The book is in 
general use all over the country— in Col. Parker's Cook County Normal 
School, among others. It is especially valuable for teacher's institutes. 

2. A Practical Ddsarte Primer. By Mrs. Astna Randall-Deehl. 16mo, 
pp. 66, 50 cts. 

This is a remarkable compact and forcible presentation of a system of 
elocution now so widely known and employed that no teacher of reading 
can afford to be ignorant of it. Mrs. Eandall-Diehl is among the most emi- 
nent teachers in the land, and she has given here precisely the methods she 
herself employed. It contains a series of twelve charts which present the 
principles of the system so clearly that they cannot fail to be understood. 

S. A Manual of Elocution. By John Swett. Cloth, 12mo, pp. 300. 
Price $1.50. 

k. Memory Gems. By Geo. H. Hoss. Paper, 16mo, pp. 40. Price 15 cts. 

5. Memory Selections. By Chakles Northbnd. 24 manilla cards in a 
box. Three series. Primary, Intermediate, Advanced. Price of each, 25 cts. 

6. The Table is Set. A Comedy for Schools, from the German by Ben- 
dis. By Weuland Hendmck. 16mo, pp. 30. Price 15 cts. 

Nothing is in greater demand than little plays for school entertain- 
ments, with few characters and requiring no scenery, and yet thoroughly 
bright and entertaining. _ This play will be found to meet all requirements. 

7. Calisthenics and Disciplinary Exercises. By E. V. DeGraff. Manilla, 
16mo, pp, 39. 25 cts. 

8. Home Exercise for Health and Cure. With 45 Illustrations. Trans- 
lated from the German of D. G. R. Soheebeb, by Chables Ritssell Bardeen. 
Cloth, 16mo, pp. 91, 50 cts. 

A glance over the table of contents of this little book wiU show bow 
widely it differs from the usual gymnastic exercises prepared for schools, «i 
which the main object is to provide uniform and graceful movements that 
will look well in concert. Such movements are here given, as selected in 
the table on page 87, but the purpose of the book reaches far beyond them. 
It is especially a treatise for individual use,— a book to be kept on the dress- 
ing-table and followed every morning and evening, like a physician's pre- 
scription. Indeed, that is just what the book is, and in the original the com 
binations in Part III. are called " prescriptions " (Vorschrifte). 

In Germany 140.000 copies of the book had been sold up to 1889, and 
teachers are expected to be familiar with it, both for their own use and for 
that of their pupUs. This translation, which purposely follows the original 
very closely, puts into the hands of American teachers the best treatise on 
bodily exercise now extant, and gives directions that will impart to many a 
strength and energy they had ceased to hope for.
